Patient's question:
The elderly person has oral cancer that has already spread after surgery, and their leg artery blockage has also caused severe issues. It hurts a lot. Now they can't eat and only drink a little rice soup and water. How much longer can they live in this condition for a week?Doctor's answer:
How long can oral cancer patients live? This is a difficult question to answer, as it is related to many factors. Many patients and their families also want to know how long oral cancer patients can live. However, the survival time of oral cancer patients mainly depends on whether appropriate treatment methods are adopted in a timely manner. In early stages, the chance of being cured through surgery combined with traditional Chinese medicine (such as Cordyceps, ginsenoside Rh2 (Hulimengsu)) consolidation therapy is still very high. However, in advanced stages, cancer cells have already spread throughout the body. Only traditional Chinese medicine and ginsenoside Rh2 (content 16.2%) can be used to suppress the development of cancer cells, allowing patients to achieve tumor-free survival through taking traditional Chinese medicine. Moreover, patients who have been treated with traditional Chinese medicine have a long survival time.
